I thought the medicals in Newcastle were mainly done in house now ?

Top of the French league when PSG weren't the force they are now. So much so we could by their better players. He cam with a reputation for being lazy and unwilling to work despite being fantastic when he had the ball.

Ginola was near chased out of France for their failure to reach the World Cup or Euros and I'm sure Robert had similar. Ginola 16caps over 5 years hardly points at being a regular. Robert 9 caps. Both seen as being flawed but mercurial players.

Possibly because they had major flaws. Hence how they ended up here and never really went on to the top and fulfilled their talent.

When we went and had to apply for an ESTA (?) they didn't just want to know about convictions but even just arrests. Everybody lies about that.

If so you'd think he'd have more suitors, we'd want a higher price and he'd have had a sniff of the national team.

But that one year would affect the current FFP (If we are as tight to it as they say .......of which I have my doubts)

11mill loan fee wasn't it ? Similar effect on FFP that buying him would have.

Its on YouTube now fwiw.

Rafa. (just for the reactions)

If only I knew where I could see it

I'm looking at a drought.

I'm not sure there will be now because of all the others going there at inflated prices.

Yes but that's multiplies over the seasons, for example, if he's still here we'll still be paying maybe 15 or 16mill per year in 2 and 3 yrs time for Isak.

Roughly if we sell him for 50mill we have that tos spend. However when we buy someone , say for 50mill that is spread over his contract, 5yrs for example, so 10mill per year ( wages are added in but that's it roughly)

If its true he's also underrated by the clubs management.

Which one ?

Re the relive a celebration. Probably Liam O's lob in the draw at Roker.

Is the font a regular topic of conversation in the pub with your mates pre match ?

Yeah but you get the embarrassing regulars over there and you haven't a clue what the rest are like. Similar on here in that we haven't a clue about the majority so I'll use what I see and hear in the pubs, at work and at the match as being a better guide than a message board.

Is that like saying RTG is a decent representation of Sunderland fans ?

For not really giving a toss about the font ?

Richard Dinnis ? Bill McGarry ? Joe Kinnear ? John Carver ? And I'd make an argument for Bruce being no worse than Fat Sam.

True enough but that change will take time. I'm happy with the Tonali/Isak/Bruno/Botman-Young'uns to bring through model. We can skim over the gaps in the short term and I think Tonali was a big part of covering that gap.
